I agree with Fury440 - I have restored, resto-moded, and built numerous Jeeps (both AMC and newer options) over the years and have never had an issue getting the price I wanted out of them especially for the AMC era Jeeps. While some would tell me my price was high the eventual buyers usually...

17' Derale electric fan purchased. I also went ahead and purchased a complete wiring kit from KwikWire. Lots of work ahead. I will document as I go.

FWIW - this is near Charlottesville, VA not Charlotte, NC.

I can rent the tester from the local auto store. I'll call the company and ask about the cap whether its meant for an overflow jug. I also noticed with another search that auto parts stores sell both 16lb and 13lb caps for my car with the 13lb designated for non A/C. I don't have A/C so maybe...

Maybe I can try that today after work.

what cap do I need? When I ordered the radiator the guy asked for the application and then put the package together. Sorry but already at work now and don't have the specs with me. EDIT - was able to pull up my purchase on-line. Champion Cooling aluminum 3 row radiator with 16lb cap...

Still battling overheating issues. New 3 core aluminum radiator and new 180 stat. New upper and lower hoses with wire to prevent collapse Took it out on a 85degree day and after about 10 mins temp gauge was pegged hot. Pulled over and upper radiator hose was swollen. Couldn’t even come near...

you'll love it. I have one in my garage as well. after buying mine new and installing it with the help of a buddy, then helping another buddy buy a used one we had to dismantle and install at his house, I feel your pain. but worth it :)

See below for what I run on my '68 without any modifications. I still have plenty of room in the rear for wider. I can get some pics and measurements if needed. Just let me know. Foose wheels = 18x8 front with 225/5018 Cooper ZEON tires 18x9 rear with 255/45/18 Cooper ZEON tires

I'm 40 yrs old. I sold my '65 Vette 'vert due to always worrying about it getting messed up when it was outside the garage. I have a CJ8 Scrambler that is my pride and joy that I do drive but it's not for a family of 3 (another reason for the sale of the Vette). I was ready for another toy to...

Had alternator checked again. Tested all good. Battery checked out all good Removed all grounds and ensured no paint issues and reinstalled Tested with both original and new regulator with no difference At this point I guess I’m at a rewire unless someone has another idea. Any...

Just thought about something. Looking at my pic above my alternator only has one field post which is connected to the wire harness. I do not have a 2nd field post to connect to chassis ground. Could that be my problem?

Thanks for the reply. Alternator was new at engine swap. Took it off and had it checked to ensure it wasn’t bad from the start. It checks good as well. Thanks for the link. Wires all look good. I may be looking at a complete re-wire. Not sure what else to do. I’ve done 3 other classics bumper to...

Alternator is new. Didn’t replace with new one yesterday. Sorry for the confusion Temp gauge connection looks good. Was working 5 mins before I Did the jumper wire test. Did I misunderstand the jumper wire test you described? I made a jumper from the field post on the alternator to the power...

Results of today: Took battery to get tested = all good New alternator New regulator plus still have old one. Battery cables tight on all ends. I sanded the firewall down to bare metal about the size of a dime under where the top bolt goes to the firewall for the regulator to ensure good...

Thanks for the info everyone. Gives me a place to start tomorrow. I’ll report back after checking these things

I don’t follow. The new regulator I purchased from FURYGT states it’s for a 68. Where are you getting that I have one for a 70?

Single field round back. Looks exactly like what the FSM shows so I’m fairly sure it’s not internally regulated. Non-MOPAR. New regulator came from you FuryGT. Car charged fine before engine swap. Dropped in 440 and got a new battery at same time.

new alternator and new regulator and the car won’t charge Is there a chance my alternator is incorrect / has an internal regulator and that’s causing the problem?
